Peter Schiff @ Occupy Wall Street
Some people there are actually curious and open to debate and new ideas. Others are just a completely hysterical and embarrassing disgrace for any movement that claims to espouse change, peace, and freedom for all.
I thank them for making complete fools of themselves on video for the world to see. You’ll know what I mean when you watch it …
Schiff @ Freedomain Radio
While Fox, CNN, and MSNBC discuss why independents’ favorability toward Obama during his State of the Union address went up by 3% during the 10th and 11th minues of his speech, and why Republicans disliked the 15th minute, it’s time for a well deserved dose of truth:
Connecticut Senate Race – Schiff Already Beats Dodd in Latest Poll
Very encouraging news from the Schiff campaign:

Re: Latest Rasmussen Poll: Peter Schiff BEATING Senator Chris Dodd
In the midst of your holiday preparations, we wanted to share with you the early Christmas present delivered today to the Peter Schiff for US Senate campaign.
A new Rasmussen poll has anti-tax candidate Peter Schiff AHEAD of Chris Dodd. This is an early Christmas gift for the Peter Schiff campaign. Before we could email our campaign pollster for his analysis, he had already emailed us, “Rasmussen Poll: EXCELLENT NUMBERS!” “These numbers are striking considering the campaign is still in our initial stages, and we are still beating Dodd,” he explained.
Our campaign is energized by these numbers, especially when you put them in context:
- Dodd’s a five-term US Senator.
- Our campaign hasn’t even started yet. (We launch our campaign headquarters next week.)
- Most Connecticut voters don’t yet know Peter and haven’t heard his story.
In 2006, people ignored Peter when he warned about the impending financial crisis. He was about the only person in the country to speak up and speak out against Wall Street’s unsound financial practices. Most importantly, he spoke out when it was the right thing to do, not when it was politically expedient. Now that irresponsible spending has moved from Wall Street to Washington, we need Peter Schiff’s insight and principles in the US Senate.
Connecticut Republicans know that Washington’s spending binges have consequences. Nearly 95% of Connecticut Republicans are worried that Obama’s socialized medicine will lead to bigger deficits. Well over 85% of Republicans are worried that the federal government’s spending binge will lead to middle-class tax increases.
And they’re right! That’s why we need a proven tax fighter like Peter Schiff in the Senate. No one doubts that Peter will be the most vocal tax fighter in Connecticut history. When Connecticut Republicans start to hear about Peter’s record- when they learn that he is the only candidate who can be trusted to fight government spending and tax increases, they will be committed Schiff voters.
One final note: there is a lot of talk out of Washington about the need for “a million-dollar advertising campaign” like the one we are seeing from one of Peter’s opponents. If these poll numbers prove one thing, it’s that: Throwing money at a problem won’t move your poll numbers any more than it will solve the financial crisis.

Peter Schiff to Run for Senate in Connecticut 2010
I received this newsletter today:
Dear Friend,
Well, it looks like you have made a difference.
Based upon the unbelievable support that I have receieved from 10,000 supporters like you, I have decided to throw my hat into the ring to challenge Chris Dodd for the honor of representing the state of Connecticut in the United States Senate. I will announce my candidacy on MSNBC’s Morning Joe show on Thursday, September 17 at 8:15am eastern time. Sorry for the short notice, but its important to honor commitments and keep these things under raps until the day the news breaks.
At this time last year I could not have imagined that that I would be making such an announcement today. I had never intended to become a candidate for public office. But these are extraordinary times. Our economy is falling apart in front of our eyes and Washington seems intent on making the wheels come off even faster. At a time when we desperately need adult supervison, the economically illiterate are running the show. As I love my country, it now seems clear that I must try to do something to help. The emotional and material support I have received from across the country has made the decision much easier.
So today it begins. As I’m sure you are aware, the rules in politics bear only scant resemblance to those which govern polite society. As a result, I am wading into strange waters, and I’m sure strange things will happen. But I promise to maintain my composure and give it my best shot. Based on the support that I have received thus far, I fully expect to be facing down Chris Dodd in the general election just 14 months from now.
As my campaign takes flight, I appreciate the patience and trust that you have shown. To commit time and money to a long shot candidate for high office is a hard choice. I hope to repay that trust with a first class campaign.
I look forward to your feedback and your continued support.
Thanks again,
Peter Schiff
Yes, once in a while there are good news on the politics front …
Peter Schiff for Senate 2010 – Money Bomb
Peter Schiff for Senate in 2010
I received this message in a newsletter from Peter Schiff:
Dear Friend,
As you may know, I am seriously considering seeking the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate in Connecticut, and I’ve launched www.SchiffForSenate.com to help me gauge support for my candidacy.
As one of the few economists with a record of successfully forecasting the recession, I can say with certainty that unless we return to true free-market principles, our economy will not rebound. Our families will continue to suffer. Unemployment and inflation will continue to rise. Our debt and deficits will continue to grow.
It is time to change course. Unfortunately, Congress and the President are continuing down the reckless path of more spending, more government intervention and more restrictions on free enterprise and individual liberty. Socialism has never worked anywhere, and it won’t work here. Washington must have the courage to stand by our founding principles in this time of crisis. Our politicians do not understand the stakes – which is why I am considering a run for the U.S. Senate.
But I am a practical man. I know that the political deck is stacked against me, and that wild card candidates almost never win. But I do have an ace up my sleeve, and that is like-minded people across the country who share my ideals. If I can’t translate that support into campaign cash, then I have no hope of defeating an entrenched political machine.
Polls suggest that the race is winnable and I am ready to make the personal and financial sacrifice necessary to run. But I can’t win this race alone. If the support is there, I will answer the call. However, if the public sentiment for my campaign is not there, and I decide not to run, I will return the unspent contributions. The decision now rests with you. So make your voice heard by contributing and signing-up at www.SchiffForSenate.com.
Free-market conservatives have an opportunity in 2010. With your help and support, I believe this will be our generation’s chance to make a difference for ourselves and our children. Join me at www.SchiffForSenate.com.
It’s time we made ourselves heard.
Best regards,
Peter Schiff
I am confident he will be able to collect enough donations, and I wish Schiff all the best in this race. I agree with him on virtually every recommendation he makes on changing policy. I do disagree with him on his market predictions regarding inflation and global decoupling, but that is a completely separate matter.
Ron Paul’s & Peter Schiff’s Predictions
Let it not be said that no one saw this crisis coming…
Freedom Watch with Judge Napolitano, Ron Paul, Peter Schiff 03/4/2009
Judge Andrew Napolitano, Ron Paul, Peter Schiff, Lew Rockwell and Cody Willard discuss the economy, government spending, and the markets; what an interesting, knowledgeable, and reasonable panel; what a joy to watch them discuss one real issue after another; no bickering, no politicking, no partisanship, just pure logic and reason. Put these people in charge of our government and our problems will be solved in no time at all.
